Chapter 306 Series Notes
Kain returned to his lab after inspecting the disaster site, and hoped that no other consequences for wishes made by Serena would fall on him.'That's one more incentive to learn that new spiritual skill. At least with it, I should be able to decreased my likelihood of being the target of fate-attribute skills.'
Kain found solace in the quiet hum of his equipment and the faint glow of the Starlight Bind Barrier covering Gabriel in the observation area.
Despite the chaos surrounding the factory incident, Kain couldn't let it consume his focus entirely—there were other pressing matters demanding his attention.
Seating himself at his desk, he pulled out the thick stack of re
Series B sought to replicate this by introducing spiritual creature DNA into human embryos or grafting it into existing subjects.
The results were unpredictable. Some subjects developed extraordinary traits, such as heightened senses or elemental control, but most others became grotesque hybrids, unable to survive the transformation for long.
The third series, Series X, aimed to enhance human Gifts and affinities beyond the affinities inherent to everyone.
The limited information in the notes suggested that the organization regarded this series as the crown jewel of their research—both for its high stakes and the immense potential rewards.
While Series A focused on acquiring abilities externally, Series X sought to amplify what already existed. This series appeared to be the most secretive and crucial to the organization, likely because its success was tied to the interests of sponsors who were already powerful beast-tamers and wanted to go further.
The experiments sought to break through the natural limitations of affinities, granting participants the ability to form contracts with whatever they desired—if the research is successful.
Finally, Series E, which Cherry and Gabriel belonged to, aimed to turn ordinary individuals with no natural affinity into beast-tamers.
The methods ranged from artificial star implantation to manipulating embryos, spiritual energy infusions and more.
So far, no cases of success have emerged from Series E, the casualty rate was staggering, and the possibility of there ever being results remained questionable—although the organization will never tell that to the sponsors of Series E, like Heather Frost, who were desperate for results.
Kain let out a tired sigh and leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples due to the rising headache.
Hours of poring over dense research notes, fragmented ideas, and the scribbled formulas of madmen had left his eyes strained and his mind spinning.
Even with his endurance and background in research, the sheer volume of material was overwhelming—he had barely made it through a third of the books and notes.
Kain rubbed his strained eyes, trying to suppress the intense disappointment he felt at not finding a solution or cure within the notes for Gabriel's condition.
As Kain lowered his hands, ready to take a short break, a strange sensation prickled at the back of his neck—a sense of being watched. His head snapped up, his heart lurching as his eyes locked onto a pair of pale grey irises staring back at him.
Gabriel was awake.
His eyes were unsettlingly pale, their almost transparent quality making it difficult to discern where his irises ended and the whites of his eyes began. They seemed to pierce straight through Kain, holding a mix of wariness, confusion, hatred, and fear.
'Oh no…does he think I'm one of them?!'
For a moment, neither of them spoke, the silence in the lab growing heavy. Kain opened his mouth to say something reassuring, but Gabriel's lips parted first, his voice hoarse and barely above a whisper.
"...Where am I?"
The question was laced with suspicion, which confirmed to Kain that Gabriel believed he was still in the clutches of the kidnappers who had experimented on him, just moved to a different location while unconscious. Experience new stories with empire
"Dark Moon College." Kain explained, "During a rescue mission we brought you back from the lab, you've been unconscious ever since. The individual that was experimenting on you is dead by the way, and all the other children kidnapped were also released and returned to their families. But unfortunately, you can't return home…"
